Description
Tewkesbury Abbey is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The 15th August, is traditionally associated with the Feast of the Assumption, for which the music presented on this recording is selected.
Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum is the choir of men and boys which sings the weekday Evensongs in Tewkesbury Abbey. The Abbey School and its choir was the brainchild of the late Miles Amherst; he had first visited the Abbey back in 1952, and was struck by the architecture and atmosphere of the building. It was over twenty years later that he founded the Abbey School and its choir. In the summer of 2006, the school closed, and the choristers made the transition to Dean Close Preparatory School in Cheltenham, where they are now educated.
